Changing the user's name seems a bit cumbersome, and I don't agree that people will know what "devaway" means - i.e. they may not even google it. -Joe 2010/6/10 Pacho Ramos : > Hello > > Currently, we only need to set a proper message in ~/.away (as talked in > http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/roll-call/devaway.xml ) when > becoming "devaway".
